google mapYou may have had a CPAP machine prescribed for your sleep apnea treatment. If so, you understand the difficulty that many patients have in getting used to this device. Now there’s a better option. With a Jeffersonville oral appliance from Kirchner Dental, we can give you relief from sleep apnea without the use of a CPAP. We can help you:
If you’re ready to get an oral appliance for your sleep apnea symptoms, give us a call today at 812-913-6093. If you haven’t yet been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can arrange a convenient home sleep test. Ask our staff for details.
People, when they’re treated for sleep apnea, are treated with a CPAP. CPAPs can be very difficult to tolerate. And so, we’re able to offer solutions that allow you to not wear the CPAP. And so, we offer an appliance that positions the jaw into a healthier position, that opens up the airway, and can give the same benefit as a CPAP.
CPAP is no longer the only game in town when it comes to treating your sleep apnea. Using a sleep apnea mouthpiece, Dr. Kirchner can give you the relief you’ve been looking for. This custom appliance will fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep, gently moving your lower jaw forward to help keep your airway open.
The result is that you’ll sleep better and feel better without a sleep apnea mask. Plus, since a partially blocked airway can cause snoring, you’ll snore less, and your bed partner will enjoy a better quality of sleep as well. It’s a win-win situation for both of you – all without the noise and bother of a cumbersome CPAP machine. There’s nothing to plug in and nothing except a small dental appliance to pack along with you when you travel.
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that shouldn’t be taken lightly. If not controlled, it can increase your susceptibility to high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, and even depression.
Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form of this condition, occurs when your air passages become blocked while sleeping. Your tongue and soft tissues in the rear of your throat can relax to the point that they restrict your air.
When this happens, sleep apnea sufferers often wake up momentarily with a loud snort, take in a few normal breaths, then fall back asleep. Usually, they’re not even aware of this process, although it can happen dozens of times per hour.
A dental appliance for sleep apnea can help prevent these episodes. If you think you could be suffering from sleep apnea, you can get help from a Jeffersonville oral appliance. Call us today at 812-913-6093 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Kirchner. You can also schedule online.
I am very happy with the staff and attention I get at Kirchner Dental. They always go above and beyond to make my visit comfortable and painless. Never a long wait and they accommodate my schedule if I have to make changes – even at the last minute. They are all so pleasant and friendly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
This place is amazing. The doctor walked me through everything that was going with my tooth. The hygienist then came in and did his magic. All the ladies in the front and back are so sweet. I would highly recommend this office.
I just had my teeth whitened via the Zoom whitening system with Amber. She is amazing! She talked me through every point of the procedure and answered all my questions. She was gentle, compassionate and so so friendly! I would highly recommend her and Kirchener dental in the future! I am so happy💜💜💜

We were in Louisville for a basketball tournament and had a collision on the court and needed emergency dental service. We called Dr. Kirchner’s office and they were closed. We called the emergency number and Dr. K answered the phone and told us to come in the next day. When I tell you that Dr. K performed beautiful work, he did that! He was very helpful and extremely pleasant. A HUGE THANK YOU to Dr. K for being available and willingly to help us in the time of need.

We treat sleep apnea with a custom oral appliance that moves your jaw into a position that keeps your airway open throughout the night. This allows you to breathe easily so you can rest. Many patients prefer this form of treatment to a CPAP machine. You won’t need to adjust to wearing a mask while you sleep, and you can take an oral device with you anywhere you go.
If you have sleep apnea, we can fit you with a custom device that fits comfortably in your mouth while you sleep. It will gently move your lower jaw forward a bit to help keep your tongue and the soft tissues in the back of your throat from blocking your airway during sleep. The result will be easier breathing with reduced or no snoring and fewer or no sleep apnea episodes.
Your insurance policy may cover a portion of the cost of your oral appliance. We recommend checking with your individual carrier to see what your policy does and does not cover. We’ll work with you to maximize your insurance benefits. Plus, we offer several flexible payment options including third-party financing through CareCredit.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
